I don't know exactly why it was deleted, but I've seen many people say that it was because they stole the sprites. If that was the case, the devs likely could've taken extra time to create their own versions of the sprites to avoid the current copyright. It won’t be just that. It would be the entire Pokémon formula itself, most of the game mechanics would be either extremely similar or exactly the same as core games.

So this day would have come eventually.
